Chapter 520 Why is Curacao here? Ask for monthly votes ( )
The person who handed the flowers to the deceased was the publicity director Junnosuke Toda.
He was the last person to touch the bouquet, so naturally he became the most suspicious and the one to be questioned first.
But Toda obviously has a different opinion on this.
“It’s Kamijou! It must be him. His motives are much stronger than mine!” Toda Junnosuke said with great certainty. “This man relied on his fame to spend money lavishly and often received salary advances. Now that the company has been sold and he has lost his job, he can no longer receive any money. He must be feeling resentful.”
So the next person to be questioned was Kamijou Hiroo.
"This is slander - I used to be a freelancer, and my company went bankrupt. The worst that can happen is that I go back to my previous job and earn more that way." Programmer Hiroo Kamijou pressed his temples and spoke slowly. He seemed to be in a low mood and didn't want to talk much.
Finding that the police were still asking questions, he perfunctorily provided some clues: "I heard that many motives in homicides are murders of passion... Among the four of us, there is Wu Ye's ex-girlfriend. Instead of holding me back, why not ask her?"
…
President Wu Ye’s ex-girlfriend happened to be the squinty-eyed woman who had talked to Jiang Xia for a while.
"I broke up with him a long time ago. Not long after we started dating, he suddenly said that he liked someone else." Narita Mayu wiped away the tears from her eyes. "He is actually a very good person, and I can understand his decision. Although we are not destined to be lovers, we usually work well together in the company. That's enough. I will never kill him...
"Come to think of it... I think Yue Yuan is the most suspicious. He often quarrels with the president, and he always feels that the president suppresses his talent and takes away his credit."
…
"I'm suspicious? You're slandering me!" Yue Yuanronglu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. "Wu Ye and I have known each other since college. Quarreling is a sign of our good relationship!... As for the murderer, wasn't it Toda who touched the bouquet of flowers in the end? He always embezzled funds in the name of entertaining clients and enjoyed himself extravagantly. Now that the company has been sold, this affluent life can no longer continue. He must be the most anxious person!"
…
The pot was thrown in a full circle, and the four people actually kicked out a perfect closed loop.
Miwako Sato stared at the circle-shaped interpersonal diagram on the notebook, sighed, looked at Jiang Xia who seemed to be distracted beside her, and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear anything?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xia came back to his senses, "This president has offended a lot of people. It's not easy for him to survive until now..."
Officer Sato: "...?"
…That’s not what she asked!
Sato Miwako sighed softly and didn't ask any more questions.
According to Jiang Xia's habit of solving cases, if there were enough clues, he would have named the murderer by now.
Since they haven't started reasoning yet, it means there aren't enough clues... They've just sent police officers to question the waiters here, hoping to get some useful clues.
…
Jiang Xia did not reveal the truth immediately.
Like Toru Amuro, he was also curious about what Rum was doing today.
However, when he thought about the fact that among the suspects this time there was a programmer who sounded like a big shot, Jiang Xia always felt that he vaguely understood something.
——From ancient times to the present, organizations seem to be particularly fond of harming programmers.
Moreover, judging from Rum's reaction, he paid great attention to this case after the murder. More importantly, during this period, Rum did not pay special attention to other things - logically speaking, after the commotion in the restaurant, Rum should immediately pay attention to his mission target. So intuition and experience told Jiang Xia that Rum was coming for the programmer.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out - maybe Rum just came here to work and have fun on weekends, to satisfy his desire to be a chef. And now he was looking at the box, not at the programmer, but at Uzo and Bourbon. After all, in the eyes of this intelligence chief, the two members of the organization must be more worthy of attention than ordinary passers-by...
In short, Jiang Xia realized that no matter which situation it was, solving the case in advance would not delay Rum's business, nor would it cause Rum to not give him tasks like Gin did recently, hindering his attempt to get involved in the organization...
Only this time, there seemed no need for any reasoning.
Compared to the techniques, the interpersonal relationships are more complicated. Because...
…
Ten minutes later.
The witnesses rested in a nearby box.
Inspector Megure attentively pushed Jiang Xia to sit down in front of the transcript: "Look carefully and see if there is anything wrong."
Jiang Xia: “…”
He could only pretend to flip over a few times.
Under the eager gaze of a group of policemen, when I turned the pages for the second time, a policeman trotted in:
"Inspector! A waiter said that when he was arranging the tableware in the box, he saw Yue Yuanronglu fiddling with the bouquet of flowers with a strange expression..."
"?!" The poison needle was placed on the flowers. Yue Yuanronglu's behavior was undoubtedly very suspicious. Inspector Megure felt that he had found an important clue, "Find Yue Yuanronglu here!" And then bring him to Brother Jiang Xia to see, maybe he can withdraw the team.
The police officers immediately ran to look for him.
Then in the warehouse, a fresh corpse was found.
——Yue Yuanronglu hung himself on the door handle of the warehouse and committed suicide by hanging.
His suicide note was placed in the warehouse. In addition, the police also found a bottle of poison in Yue Yuanronglu's pocket, which was the same poison that was applied on the needle used to assassinate President Wu Ye.
"…It turned out to be suicide?"
Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia, then at the corpse, frowned, and felt that the matter was not simple.
...He had never dealt with a suicide case before when he met Jiang Xia. Could it be that Brother Jiang Xia had just experienced a car accident today and his bad luck had run out?
Toru Amuro stared at the corpse and the dragging marks on the warehouse floor, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
After all, he was also a part-time detective, or a full-time detective if you rounded it up. At this moment, facing this suicide with serious signs of homicide, he wanted to speak but couldn't, which was really uncomfortable...
At this time, Jiang Xia next to him seemed unable to hold back either.
Amuro Toru heard Jiang Xia muttering quietly: "It seems like he was murdered."
Most people didn't hear it.
Inspector Megure and Sato Miwako's ears twitched and they turned their heads sharply: "What?!"
Although the two people's tone and expressions were surprised, they both had a sense of relief in their hearts that "it is as expected".
At this time, a waitress who was watching in the crowd turned her head and glanced in Jiang Xia's direction.
Her face was plain, but her gaze had an inexplicably strong presence.
Jiang Xia also looked back subconsciously, and then found that Xiaobai was touching his chin and looking at the waitress thoughtfully.
